C Connecting to a TV with component jacks.
You can enjoy picture of high-fidelity color reproduction by connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to your TV.
NOTES
• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB ), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.
• If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).
Progressive scan video playback available
In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the progressive video input.
About the scanning mode
Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-per­second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information. When the player plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the player interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Selecting the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR position
• If your television equipped with component jacks does not support the progressive scanning mode Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “480i.”
• If your television equipped with component jacks supports the progressive scanning mode Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “480p.”
• If you want to select the scanning mode between the interlace and progressive modes (depending on the source condition, or when connecting more than one television, etc.) Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “REMOTE.” Thus you can select the mode from the remote control unit.
NOTE
You must change the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR position while the player power is off. Otherwise, the changed setting is not effective.
Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote control unit
When the player is turned on and the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR is set to “REMOTE,” press and hold down VFP ­PROGRESSIVE SCAN for a few seconds. The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning and Interlaced scanning modes.
When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel turns on. Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] setting on the [PICTURE] preference display (see page 27) and whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the color of the indicator differs, as shown in the table below.

If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to [OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose resuming position is stored. However, when you again set [RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume playback of the disc.
When you resume playback, set the [RESUME] setting to [DISC RESUME] before removing a loaded disc.
If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted position has already been stored, the memory will be updated with the new interrupted position.
For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.
When the player memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
The player may not resume playback exactly from the interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was interrupted.

Appendix D: Glossary
480i/480p
Indicates the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an image signal. 480i indicates 480 scanning lines with interlace format, and 480p indicates 480 scanning lines with progressive format.
ASF
ASF is an abbreviation of Advanced Streaming Format, and is a data compression format for streaming developed by Microsoft Corporation. ASF can contain the various data types such as audio, video, and text.
Aspect ratio
A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.
Bitstream
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
Chapter/title
Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track for Video CD or Audio CD.
Component video
Video signals with three channels of separate information that makes up the picture. There are some types of component video, such as R/G/B and Y/C
Composite video
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization information.
Dolby Digital (AC3)
A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the original four channels for playback. Because the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a two-channel stereo system. Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is enhanced channel separation.
Down-mix
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output connectors.
DTS
A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
B(PB)/CR(PR).
Dynamic range
The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.
Interlaced scanning
In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display monitor in between lines of two halves. The Interlaced scanning system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the picture.
JPEG
A popular file format for still image compression and storage. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.
baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.
progressive JPEG: used for the web
lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now
Linear PCM audio
PCM stands for pulse code modulation. Linear PCM is the usual method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.
MP3
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10.
MPEG-4
MPEG-4 is an audio/video data compression format, which is highly efficient and more stable than MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.
NTSC (National television system committee)
A black and white and color television system format used in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
A color television system format used extensively in Western Europe.
PBC
PBC stands for Playback control and is a method of controlling disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the disc through menus.
Progressive scanning
Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame. A progressive scanning DVD player converts the interlaced (480i) video from DVD into progressive (480p) format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.
S-video
A video signal which improves picture quality over standard composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV monitors, etc.
Tra ck
The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.
WMA
WMA is an abbreviation of Windows Media Audio,” and is an audio data compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is the same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller than that of MP3.
